The analysis of the epigraphical and literary evidence for sacrifices to heroes in these periods shows, contrary to the traditional notion, that the main ritual in hero-cults was a thysia at which the worshippers consumed the meat from the animal victim. A particular handling of the animal?s blood or a holocaust, rituals previously taken to be typical for heroes, can rarely be documented and must be considered as marginal features in hero-cults. The terms eschara, escharon, bothros, enagizein, enagisma, enagismos and enagisterion, believed to be characteristic for hero-cults, are seldom used in hero-contexts before the Roman period and occur mainly in the Byzantine lexicographers and in the scholia. Since the main kind of sacrifice in hero-cults was a thysia, a ritual intimately connected with the social structure of society, the heroes must have fulfilled the same role as the gods within the Greek religious system. The fact that the heroes were dead seems to have been of little significance for the sacrificial rituals and it is questionable whether the rituals of hero-cults are to be considered as originating in the cult of the dead. 410 0$aKernos.$pSupple?ment ;$v12. 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aEuropean Religions - pre-Christian$2HILCC 610 $aHero-cults 610 $aancient Greek religion 610 $aritual 610 $areligious beliefs 610 $asacrifice 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aEuropean Religions - pre-Christian 700 $aEkroth$b Gunnel$0486335 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910133543503321 996 $aSacrificial rituals of Greek hero-cults in the Archaic to the early Hellenistic periods$9305292 997 $aUNINA
